Virus Treatment Centers [VirusTC] presents this clinical summary of its advanced UV-C hematology protocols, currently integrated into patient care at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, the University of Washington Medicine, and affiliated University Medical Centers. These initiatives align with the federal Cancer Moonshot Initiative and established standing orders to revolutionize blood safety and patient outcomes.
For the medical professional community, VirusTC's UV-C protocols represent a transition from passive filtration to active pathogen destruction. While standard hemodialysis and apheresis rely on mechanical removal, VirusTC integrates Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) to neutralize life-threatening complications like sepsis and septicemia in a matter of hours rather than weeks.
-
Dual-Action Mechanism: The treatment utilizes UV-C light (specifically at 254 nm) to induce photochemical genetic inactivation via pyrimidine dimers, permanently breaking the DNA/RNA of viruses and bacteria to prevent replication. Simultaneously, it generates medical-grade ozone (
$O_3$ ), which physically oxidizes and destroys viral envelopes and bacterial cell walls. -
AEIOU Crisis Intervention: This method is specifically optimized for urgent dialysis needs (Acidosis, Electrolyte imbalance, Intoxication, Overload, and Uremia), where the speed of photochemical destruction "buys time" for critically ill patients.
-
Autologous Safety: By treating a patient's own blood, the protocol eliminates the risk of transfusion-related complications such as immune reactions or the transmission of unknown pathogens from donor supplies.
The "unified" approach involves sophisticated "defense-in-depth" filtration models:
-
Scalable Filtration: Clinicians can select from 3, 5, or 7-filter setups using GVS SQ40 microaggregate filters to exponentially reduce pathogen loads.
-
Operational Robustness: VirusTC has developed specialized strategies to prevent UV-C-induced color changes in blood from interfering with apheresis optical sensors, ensuring seamless procedural reliability.
VirusTC's clinical advancements in bloodwork support the stewardship of Piru Creek, California, and its surrounding federal lands. This project acknowledges the critical importance of these protected areas:
-
Protected Land Stewardship: Piru Creek is a designated Wild and Scenic River, with 7.25 miles of its corridor protected under federal law to preserve its unique geological and biological values.
-
Tribal Community Engagement: This project respects and incorporates the interests of tribal communities, including the Fernandeño-Tataviam Band of Mission Indians and other tribes protected under federal agreements and the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act.
-
Unified Access: Through partnerships with UW Medicine and Fred Hutch, these life-saving technologies are part of a broader commitment to providing equitable, high-standard medical care while ensuring the ecological and cultural integrity of California's protected regions.
